Dot now has her nameplates

Submitted by andrew.sdr on

Battery mining loco No6 DOT has now received her brass nameplates which were fitted while she was in works receiving attention for various things:

  • Traction batteries replaced with recharged ones
  • Lighting battery replaced with a recharged one
  • Lower frames painted in Ochre Brown to match the cab
  • New black plastic temporary power/brake control wheel fitted in place of the old transparent acrylic temporary one which was invisible.
  • Brass "DOT" nameplates supplied by Garden Railway Specialists were fitted to the cab on both sides

Note: the ordered power/brake control wheel being supplied from the Wilesco factory in  Germany is reportedly still stuck in Customs at the port (probably Felixtowe) due to Brexit.
